A lot of this is caused by email trauma -- 50% will check their emails on the weekends, 60% will check emails on sick days and 22% are expected to check emails while not at work.

Feelings of being overworked is the top reason why employees will leave a job. It also leads to low morale, high turnover, an increase in errors, and physical and mental health issues.
